'Ladies and gentlemen, as you can see inside the huge cage, is our very first piece. He has not been touched by anyone, and is only eight, the age which you can get to train and teach him how to obey you. Since this is one of the best pieces we have, we shall begin with a price of 500 thousand. Ladies and gentlemen! Get ready to punch in the price you are willing to pay for.'

Predator.

That was what everyone called him. Always supplying the market with children who were good looking, somewhat talented or with special abilities. The huge competition and demand for more of those children among the rich, as they were desperate for children, secret desire to perform loathsome or even inhuman act on them.

The child dressed in black shirt and black shorts knew exactly what to expect if he were to fall into the hands of any of the bidders. Sneering in his heart, he looked sideway, where a delicate kid was seated, chained to a cage. He knew the destiny of the child, similar to his. But that child had something more.. That child had something else sparkling in his eyes. Something he had lost long ago ever since he was abducted away from his hometown.

That something known as -  Hope.
